A black employee of Corrigan-Radgowski Correctional Center in Uncasville has sued the Department of Correction, alleging she was suspended without pay for one day after complaining about a white corrections officer whose vehicle had a Confederate flag prominently displayed for visitors and employees to see.

But when the officer allegedly parked repeatedly in the same spot  with the flag on full display, Moore said she decided to complain to her immediate supervisor.
